  Article:   ON THE MNEMOTECHNICAL VALUE OF CERTAIN PHONETICALLY-BASED FIGURES OF SPEECH.

Authors:  CRISTINA TĂTARU.
 
       
         
  Abstract:  The paper is a brief review of the so-called mnemotechnical figures of speech, i.e., rhythm, alliteration and rhyme, and its basic contention is that, apart from their traditionally ascertained mnemotechnical value, pertaining to a quantitative function, figures of speech can also be viewed qualitatively, in the context of a modern shift of canon, as bearers of aesthetic value.
